Description :

Elsmore & Forster, a pottery company that operated in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, England, from 1853 to 1871 were known for producing earthenware and Parian ware. The original partnership included Thomas Elsmore, Thomas Forster, and Richard Blackhurst, but Blackhurst left the partnership in 1851. Elsmore & Forster continued to produce various pottery items, including the popular Ceres shape and the SIMLA pattern.

"Gaudy Ironstone," pottery dishes were produced in the mid-1800s. The flow blue technique of this plate involves a blue glaze that spreads during firing, creating a blurred effect that adds a unique charm to each piece. The strawberry pattern is one of their more popular designs, featuring vibrant strawberries and leaves against the flow blue background. These dishes come in various sizes, including plates, bowls, and serving pieces. They are highly sought after by collectors due to their distinctive design and historical significance.

There are additional lots with these extraordinary dishes on this auction.  See lots 126 and 135.

This lot offers four (4) SALAD PLATES from the strawberry pattern Gaudy Ironstone series.
